CCEA Planning Framework for GCSE Health and Social Care
Introduction: Unit 1The purpose of this Planning Framework is to support the teaching and learning of GCSE Health and Social Care Unit 1: Personal Development, Health and Well-Being. The Planning Framework is based on specification content but should not be used as a replacement for the specification. It provides suggestions for a range of teaching and learning activities which provide opportunities for students to develop their: Knowledge and understanding Subject specific skills The Cross-Curricular Skills Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities
The Planning Framework is not mandatory, prescriptive or exhaustive. Teachers are encouraged to adapt and develop it to best meet the needs of their students.

CCEA Planning Framework for GCSE Health and Social Care
Subject Skills Assessed through GCSE Health and Social Care Unit 1: Personal Development, Health and Well-Being:The following skills are assessed in GCSE Health and Social Care Unit 1: Personal Development, Health and Well-Being: Analysing issues and problems; Identify, gathering and recording relevant information and evidence; Analysing and evaluating evidence; Planning and carrying out practical activities; Making reasoned justifications and presenting conclusions; and Evaluating outcomes.
Supporting the Development of Statutory Key Stage 4 Cross-Curricular Skills and Thinking Skills and Personal CapabilitiesThis specification builds on the learning experiences from Key Stage 3 as required for the statutory Northern Ireland Curriculum. It also offers opportunities for students to contribute to the aim and objectives of the Curriculum at Key Stage 4, and to continue to develop the Cross-Curricular Skills and the Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities. The extent of the development of these skills and capabilities will be dependent on the teaching and learning methodology used.
Cross-Curricular Skills at Key Stage 4CommunicationStudents may be given opportunities for further development of Communicationcommunicate meaning, feelings and viewpoints in a logical and coherent manner, for example by completing extended response questions; make oral and written summaries, reports and presentations which
take account of audience and purpose, for example by writing a description of development during the life stages;
participate in discussions, debates and interviews, for example discussion on the impact of unhealthy relationships on a child’s development;
explore and respond, both imaginatively and critically, to a range of texts, for example, completion of extended responses in exam preparation.
Using MathematicsStudents may be given opportunities for further development of Using Mathematics use mathematical language and notation with confidence, for example
by analysing centile charts and calculating BMI;

CCEA Planning Framework for GCSE Health and Social Care
use mental computation to calculate, estimate and make predictions in a range of simulated and real-life contexts, for example, calculating alcohol units;
select and apply mathematical concepts and problem-solving strategies in a range of simulated and real-life contexts, for example managing the cost of marriage or emigration;
interpret and analyse a wide range of mathematical data, for example analysis of centile charts for development during infancy and childhood, analysis of height and weight charts;
assess probability and risk in a range of simulated and real-life contexts, for example financial implications of redundancy or unemployment; and
present mathematical data in a variety of formats which take account of audience and purpose, for example graphical representation of physical growth in infancy, childhood and adolescence.
Using ICTStudents may be given opportunities for further development of Using ICT
Students should be able to make effective use of information and communication technology in a wide range of contexts to access, manage, select and present information, including mathematical information, for example secondary research online on life changes and patterns of development in the life stages.
Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities at Key Stage 4Problem SolvingStudents should be able to: identify and analyse relationships and patterns, for example the
expected patterns of development in the life stages; reason, form opinions and justify their views, for example by
considering how a range of factors may affect an individual’s self-concept;
analyse and evaluate multiple perspectives, for example understand the importance of the values of care for staff and service users;
explore unfamiliar views without prejudice, for example by taking part in a class discussion on how gender, sexual orientation and culture or ethnicity may affect self-concept;
weigh up options and justify decisions, for example in completion of responses to examination questions; and
apply and evaluate a range of approaches to solve problems in familiar and novel contexts, for example explore a range of options in exploring the support available to help individuals cope with life changes.
Working with Others

CCEA Planning Framework for GCSE Health and Social Care
Students may be given opportunities for further development of Working with Others learn with and from others through co-operation, for example use
appropriate language and respect the views of others when taking part in group discussions on range of topics for example, alcohol misuse;
participate in effective teams and accept responsibility for achieving collective goals, for example identify what members of a group need to do to prepare a wall display on how behavioural factors may affect development; and
listen actively to others and influence group thinking and decision making, taking account of others’ opinions, for example put forward a justified argument to support their views on factors affecting self – concept.
Self ManagementStudents may be given opportunities for further development of Self-Management plan work, for example prepare resources to show development
through the life stages; set personal learning goals and targets to meet deadlines, for example
set goals for examination performance in line with the target setting policy of the school;
monitor, review and evaluate their progress and improve their learning, for example self-evaluate responses to practice exam questions and past papers identify weaknesses and seek support required; and
effectively manage their time, for example meet deadlines set by teachers and work systematically in an organised way to complete teacher set activities such as homework and practice examination questions.
Although not statutory at Key Stage 4 this specification also allows opportunities for further development of the Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities of Managing Information and Creativity.
Students may be given opportunities for further development of Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities of Managing Information and Creativity. ask focused questions for example in interviewing visiting speakers
such as health, social acre or early years practitioners; select, classify, compare and evaluate information for example when
reviewing physical, intellectual, social and emotional aspects of development;
use a range of methods for collating, recording and representing for example developing a resource on how life changes may impact on an individual;
communicate with a sense of audience and purpose for example giving a presentation on how behavioural factors may impact on physical, intellectual emotional and social health and well-being;
seek out questions to explore and problems to solve; for example finding out how life changes may affect individuals;

CCEA Planning Framework for GCSE Health and Social Care
learn from and value other people’s ideas; for example from interviews with service users or practitioners;
see opportunities in mistakes and failures; for example through self and peer evaluation; and
experiment with different methods, for example, investigating how physical factors such as chronic illnesses affect health and well-being.

families;– older people;– people with
mental health difficulties
– people with learning disabilities
– people with physical disabilities
– people with chronic illnesses and
– people with dementia; and
demonstrate knowledge and understanding of each service user
Discussion – explain the term service user
Thought shower – give students the topic ‘groups of service users who use health, social care and early years services’ and ask them to draw up a list. This could be done in groups or as a whole class starter activity.
